- Homerun Resources Inc. Announces Commencement of Trading of Sponsored BDR's on the Brazil B3 Stock Exchange
May 5, 2026
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 5, 2026) - Homerun Resources Inc. (TSXV: HMR) (OTCQB: HMRFF) ("Homerun" or the "Company"), a vertically integrated materials company advancing the Company's high-purity silica resources located in Belmonte, Bahia, Brazil, is pleased to announce that its Sponsored Brazilian Depositary Receipts ("BDRs") are now listed for trading on B3 S.A. - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão ("B3"), Brazil's main stock exchange, under the:
BDR TICKER: HMRN31
ISIN BDR: BRHMRNBDR006
RATIO: 1:1 (1 BDR = 1 COMMON)
As of early 2026, the B3 (Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão) is ranked as the 20th largest stock exchange in the world by market capitalization. It is the premier stock exchange in South America, acting as the main financial hub for Brazilian securities.
This marks a proud and important milestone for Homerun as it begins trading on the largest exchange in the country where its core operations and growth projects are located, creating a direct Brazilian capital markets presence for the Company's energy transition strategy.
BDRS NOW TRADING ON BRAZIL'S MAIN EXCHANGE
The BDRs are issued under Homerun's previously announced Sponsored BDR Level 1 program with Banco B3 S.A. as depositary, with each BDR representing one common share of Homerun, which continues to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol HMR (the "Underlying Shares"). The Underlying Shares corresponding to the BDRs are held in custody outside Brazil in an account designated for the program, and new BDRs are issued only when the depositary acquires and blocks the corresponding Underlying Shares.
As qualified Brazilian investors purchase Homerun BDRs on B3, the depositary will source the Underlying Shares from the TSXV market (or from existing blocked inventory), effectively drawing on Homerun's Canadian-listed float. The BDR structure is designed to maintain economic and voting equivalence between the BDRs and the Underlying Shares, with price discovery linked through arbitrage between B3 and the TSXV.
By listing on B3 via a Sponsored BDR program, Homerun aims to:
Broaden and diversify its shareholder base in Brazil, including domestic institutional investors, family offices and high-net-worth individuals. Enhance visibility and market awareness in the country where its flagship high-purity, low-iron silica resources and planned solar glass manufacturing complex are located. Provide Brazilian and international investors with a local-market vehicle to participate in Brazil's energy transition, including the build-out of solar glass, advanced silica materials and energy storage infrastructure. Create an additional trading venue that may support liquidity and valuation for the Company's shares over time.

Brian Leeners, CEO of Homerun, commented:
"Today is a very proud moment for Homerun. Being listed on B3, Brazil's main stock exchange and one of the largest exchanges in the Americas, connects our business directly to the market where we operate and where we see our greatest long-term growth opportunities. Our vision is to build a vertically integrated, silica-powered platform for the energy transition in Brazil, from high-purity silica in Bahia, to antimony-free solar glass, to advanced materials, energy storage and energy solutions and we are excited to now offer Brazilian investors a local way to participate in that journey. We are grateful to our partners and regulators for their support in bringing this listing to life, and we look forward to deepening our relationships with Brazilian institutions, family offices and retail investors as we advance our bankable feasibility study and project financing initiatives."

- Brazil Blocks Polymarket in Crackdown on Prediction Sites

Brazil’s government blocked access to Polymarket and two dozen other prediction market platforms that it said were out of compliance with federal gambling laws.
Finance Minister Dario Durigan told reporters in Brasilia on Friday that a total of 28 companies had been blocked for offering what the government considered “illegal betting.”
Durigan cast the move as part of a broader effort to protect the savings of Brazilians and address rising levels of household debt, a problem President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has attributed in part to online gambling.
Daniele Cardoso, who oversees betting for the finance ministry, confirmed that Polymarket had been blocked. Kalshi, another popular site, also appeared offline in Brazil, although Cardoso didn’t confirm whether it was among the platforms that had been shut down.
Polymarket didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. A spokesperson for Kalshi said it is reviewing the resolution.
Earlier Friday, Brazil’s National Monetary Council issued a resolution banning prediction markets tied to elections and sporting events. The resolution prohibited the offering and trading of derivatives whose underlying assets are linked to sporting events, online gambling and “real or virtual events of a political, electoral, social, cultural or entertainment nature.”
The measure would also bar contracts based on any subject that doesn’t represent a clear economic or financial reference, to be determined by Brazil’s securities regulator.
The South American country’s main stock exchange, B3 SA, has explored entering the growing prediction-markets space, which has come under particular scrutiny over insider trading concerns. The exchange has already confirmed it will launch six new contracts on April 27 tied to the Ibovespa equity index, Brazil’s real currency and Bitcoin, and has studied expanding the offering to include event-based contracts.
Among the possibilities under consideration are products linked to elections. B3 has previously sought a legal opinion on whether Brazilian law allows contracts tied to electoral outcomes.
Such contracts could have been introduced ahead of the country’s October presidential election, a race expected to be closely contested between the leftist Lula and Senator Flavio Bolsonaro. Recent polls show the two running neck-and-neck in a potential runoff.
Story Continues
The new council resolution, however, prohibits that practice. By explicitly banning derivatives linked to political and other non-financial events, policymakers are signaling a more cautious stance toward prediction markets, even as interest in such products grows globally.
The council tasked Brazil’s CVM securities and exchange commission with issuing additional regulations and overseeing enforcement of the new framework.

- Homerun Resources Inc. Announces Sponsored BDR Listing on B3 Stock Exchange
Apr 1, 2026
Expanding Access to Brazilian Investors and International Investors Focused on the Energy Transition in Brazil
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 1, 2026) - Homerun Resources Inc. (TSXV: HMR) (OTCQB: HMRFF) ("Homerun" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into a Sponsored Brazilian Depositary Receipt ("BDR") program with Banco B3 S.A. (the "Depositary"), pursuant to a Sponsored BDR Service Agreement dated March 27th, 2026. The program provides for the listing and trading of Homerun BDRs on B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão ("B3"), Brazil's main stock exchange, under a ticker to be announced following final admission by B3 and registration by the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários ("CVM").
The Sponsored BDR program will initially be a Level I – confirm program, with each BDR representing one common share of Homerun, which continues to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") under the symbol HMR (the "Underlying Share"). The Underlying Shares corresponding to the BDRs will be held in custody outside Brazil in an account designated for the program, and new BDRs will only be issued when the Depositary acquires and blocks the corresponding Underlying Shares. As a result, when Brazilian investors purchase Homerun BDRs on B3, the Depositary will source the Underlying Shares from the TSXV market (or from existing blocked inventory), effectively drawing on the Company's TSXV-listed float and reducing the freely tradable supply in Canada as BDRs are created and outstanding.
The Company is pursuing the B3 listing in response to growing inbound interest from Brazilian institutional investors and family offices, particularly in advance of Homerun's planned bankable feasibility study ("BFS") and project financing which has received indicative support from BNDES, Brazil's national development bank (see news release).
Management believes that providing a locally traded, real-denominated security will materially lower operational and regulatory frictions for Brazil-based investors who wish to participate in Homerun's growth, including those that have mandates or internal guidelines requiring investment through Brazilian listed instruments. The listing will also facilitate international investment in the ongoing Energy Transition that is taking place in Brazil as Homerun is a leading vertically integrated company in that Federal Government mandate.
Story Continues
By listing on B3 via a Sponsored BDR program, Homerun expects to: (i) broaden and diversify its shareholder base in Brazil; (ii) enhance visibility among Brazilian institutions, family offices and high-net-worth investors; (iii) provide an investment opportunity in the Energy Transition occurring in Brazil; and (iv) create an additional trading venue that may support liquidity and valuation for the Company's shares over time. The BDR structure is designed to maintain economic and voting equivalence between the BDRs and the Underlying Shares, with price discovery linked through arbitrage between B3 and the TSXV.
Further details regarding the BDR program – including level, ticker symbol, commencement of trading and any investor eligibility limitations under CVM regulations – will be announced upon receipt of the necessary approvals from B3 and the CVM.

Release Date: February 27, 2026
For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.
Positive Points
B3 SA - Brasil Bolsa Balcao (BOLSY) reported a solid 11% increase in total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2025, with growth across all segments. The company distributed BRL 1.5 billion in nonrecurring interest on capital, which helped offset the negative impact from deferred tax adjustments. Recurring EBITDA reached BRL 83 billion, marking a 15% increase with a margin of 69%, indicating high operational efficiency. Data analytics solutions grew nearly 20%, reflecting strong demand from various verticals such as credit, loss prevention, and insurance. The company launched new products, including weekly option expiries for the Ibovespa and digital options on interest rates, FX, bitcoin, inflation, and GDP, expanding its product portfolio.
Negative Points
The company faced a negative accounting impact of approximately BRL 1 billion due to the update of deferred taxes related to the tax amortization of goodwill. Derivatives market performance was negatively impacted by FX and crypto products due to the devaluation of the USD against the BRL. Total expenses grew by 1.5% year-over-year, with adjusted expenses up by 4.7%, aligning with inflation but indicating cost pressures. The increase in social contribution tax will affect the company's tax rate, with a 3% increase starting April 2026 and another 3% in 2028. The derivatives segment showed a slight annual decrease in total ADV, indicating challenges in maintaining growth in this area.
Q & A Highlights
Q: Can you provide perspectives on ADTV for the first quarter and discuss any AI integration opportunities? A: January continued the positive trend with average volumes around BRL33-34 billion, and February is also showing strong volumes. This trend is mainly driven by international investors. Regarding AI, we are exploring efficiency opportunities in software development and data solutions, with plans to enhance offerings using Gen AI.
Story Continues
Q: How are margins faring with the strong ADTV in the first quarter, and what is B3's stance on predictive markets? A: Margins are flat compared to the fourth quarter due to a balance between volume-driven price reductions and a favorable mix of real money inflows. Regarding predictive markets, B3 is focusing on financial indicators for digital options, not pursuing sports-related prediction markets.
Q: With the recent spike in volumes, is there potential for short-term margin expansion, and what is the timeline for realizing the BRL4 billion in IoC benefits? A: There is potential for margin expansion due to operational leverage. The timeline for IoC benefits depends on deduction limits, with more clarity expected in the second half of the year.
Q: Given the acceleration in revenues, especially ADTV, could we see higher expenses, and what is the outlook for data analytics and technology growth? A: We aim to maintain controlled expense growth while investing in new products and modernization. Data and technology have shown quality growth, with recurring revenues providing confidence for continued expansion.
Q: What are the expectations for derivatives in 2026, considering new product launches and potential interest rate changes? A: Despite a high comparison base in 2024, we expect better performance in derivatives due to new product launches, potential market volatility from elections, and anticipated interest rate cuts.

Positive Points
B3 SA - Brasil Bolsa Balcao (BOLSY) reported a 2% revenue growth despite challenging market conditions, showcasing the resilience of its business model. The company achieved significant growth in key areas: 21% in Fixed Income and Credit, 18% in Data Analytics and Solutions, and 13% in Technology and Platforms. Net income reached BRL 1.3 billion, with earnings per share increasing by 12% compared to the previous year, supported by a successful buyback program. B3 SA maintained expenses below inflation, demonstrating effective budget management and commitment to efficiency. The company successfully completed a BRL 2.6 billion debenture issuance at a competitive cost, positively impacting net present value.
Negative Points
The equities and derivatives markets faced challenges, impacting overall market performance. There is uncertainty regarding potential tax changes in Brazil, which could affect B3 SA's financials if approved. The company faces competition from new local exchanges, although specific timelines and impacts remain unclear. The appreciation of the Brazilian real against the US dollar negatively impacted revenue linked to USD-denominated contracts. Despite improvements, the securities lending market is still not at the desired level of liquidity and volume.
Q & A Highlights
Q: Can you provide more details on the growth in Platform and Analytics, Market Support Services, and securities lending? Are these growth levels sustainable? A: Andre Veiga Milanez, CFO: In securities lending, we've initiated several initiatives to unlock liquidity, such as working with brokers to use the intermediation account and launching a liquidity pool. Fernando Campos, Investor Relations: Market Support Services growth is driven by the fixed income fund industry, with increased AUM and price adjustments. Platform and Analytics benefited from a better scenario in the auto vehicle industry and commercial efforts in Loss Prevention and Credit segments.
Story Continues
Q: How might potential fintech taxes in Brazil impact B3, and what is your outlook for equities and derivatives markets? A: Andre Veiga Milanez, CFO: The potential fintech tax could increase our taxation, but we are working to mitigate impacts. Regarding equities and derivatives, volumes have stabilized, and interest rate reductions could trigger increased activity. We expect a positive outlook for 2026, especially if interest rates decrease.
Q: What is B3's stance on predictive markets and new product development? A: Andre Veiga Milanez, CFO: We are actively developing new products, including derivatives linked to the Brazilian VIX Index and Bitcoin options. Predictive markets are on our agenda, but discussions with regulators are ongoing to address concerns and explore potential.
Q: Can you discuss your expense management strategy and any updates on competition from new exchanges? A: Andre Veiga Milanez, CFO: We aim to manage expenses around inflation levels, focusing on efficiency and investment in new initiatives. Regarding competition, new exchanges may launch by the second half of next year, but we have limited visibility on their progress.
Q: How is B3 preparing for potential IPO windows, and what initiatives are in place to attract listings? A: Andre Veiga Milanez, CFO: We are ready for IPO opportunities, with around 100 companies as potential candidates. While some companies may list abroad, we are working with regulators to make local capital markets more accessible, including the FACIL program for small companies.

Under the terms of the agreement, CME Group and B3 will work together to launch futures on Brazilian soybeans in Q3 2020, pending regulatory approvals.
These new futures contracts will build on the existing cooperation agreement CME Group and B3 have had in place since 2007 for technology services and cross-listing of futures products. The new, expanded agreement also includes the extension of the existing B3 cross-listed mini-soybean futures and options contracts, and will allow the companies to evaluate potential products related to South American soybean and soybean-related products.
"Brazil is an important player in the global grain and oilseed trade and is expected to export over 83 million metric tons of soybeans this year alone," said Tim Andriesen, CME Group Managing Director of Agricultural Products. "These new futures contracts respond to the demand from our customers for regional hedging and price discovery tools that complement the deep liquidity of our benchmark grain and oilseed futures and options."
"This expanded strategic partnership will bring even greater benefits to our Brazilian customers by providing a benchmark specifically related to Brazilian soybean export prices," said Louis Gourbin, Superintendente, Commodities at B3. "As our relationship grows, we are excited to explore joint risk management products that will bring additional South American-based trading solutions to the global marketplace."
